PXC 360 BT

PXC 360 BT

The PXC 360 BT headphones provide undisturbed music enjoyment innoisy environments – even without the constrictions of cables. Theircircumaural, closed design and the latest active noise compensation tech-nology (NoiseGard) make the PXC 360 BT especially suitable for use within-flight entertainment systems. Due to their active and passive attenua-tion of ambient noise, they let you enjoy music even in noisy environ-ments.

Bluetooth

The PXC 360 BT comply with the new Bluetooth 2.1 standard. Via theirBluetooth interface, they can be connected to a wide variety of Bluetoothenabled devices. Bluetooth wireless technology allows the PXC 360 BT tocommunicate with your Bluetooth enabled device (e.g. mobile phone, MP3player, PC or PDA) within a range of up to 10 meters.

SRS WOW HD™

SRS WOW HD improves the dynamic audio performance of compressedand uncompressed audio by expanding the size of the audio imageand creating a deep, rich bass response. The patented techniques inSRS WOW HD widen the horizontal sound field and raise the vertical soundimage, retrieving information lost in the mixing process to create a morenatural audio experience.

apt-X®

With apt-X audio coding, you can be assured of crisp, pure and full stereosound. It allows you to not only hear, but experience and feel the audio asit was intended. Utilizing apt-X, Bluetooth technology can now offer wire-less audio quality that is indistinguishable from the highest quality wiredconnection.

From major public broadcasters to film production studios, apt-X is usedthroughout the world to transmit high quality digital audio from A to Z inreal-time. It was developed to meet the exacting standards of musiciansand audio engineers who love the exceptional dynamic range and highfidelity it provides.

NoiseGard™

The NoiseGard active noise compensation system is based on the principleof cancelling out sound using “anti-sound” (phase-inverted sound). Tinymicrophones pick up low-frequency ambient noise (up to 1 kHz) near theear. The NoiseGard electronics use this noise to generate a sound wavewhich is the exact opposite (IE: at the same level but polarity reversed –180° out-of-phase), the effect being that the polarity reversed signalcancels most of the outside noise.

TalkThrough

The PXC 360 BT headphones have a TalkThrough function, which allowsyou to communicate with other people without having to remove theheadphones. When TalkThrough is activated, professional quality micro-phones mounted on the outside of the headphones pick up all acousticsignals in the immediate vicinity. Annoying background noise is electroni-cally filtered out, only allowing the voice of the other person to passthrough the headphones clearly.

Additional features

• Great for travel: comfortable, rugged and foldable headphoneconstruction

• Optional connection via audio cable for music enjoyment withoutBluetooth technology

• Outstanding sound quality due to Duofol diaphragms

• Optimum protection against ambient noise due to active and passivenoise attenuation

apt-X audio coding

Outstanding audio quality apt-X technology is what wireless audio has been waiting for. With apt-Xaudio coding, you can be assured of crisp, pure and full stereo sound. Itallows you to not only hear, but experience and feel the audio as it wasintended. Utilizing apt-X, Bluetooth can now offer wireless audio qualitythat is indistinguishable from the highest quality wired connection.

Professional grade sound Until now, apt-X has been the best-kept secret of the professional audioindustry. From major public broadcasters to film production studios, apt-Xis used throughout the world to transmit high quality digital audio fromA to Z in real-time. It was developed to meet the exacting standards ofmusicians and audio engineers who love the exceptional dynamic rangeand high fidelity it provides.

Now available on selected consumer devices, the technology ensures thatmusic lovers everywhere can stream the rich listening experience that onlyapt-X can deliver.

Revolutionizing Bluetoothlistening

Bluetooth technology has revolutionized our communications and life-style by eliminating troublesome wires and letting us get on with life “onthe move”. Listening to a mobile phone conversation on a Bluetoothearpiece sounds just fine but when it comes to delivering full stereo sound,a little extra help is required. apt-X works within Bluetooth to deliver CDquality audio, ensuring you are getting the most from your wirelesslistening experience.

In order to deliver two-channel digital sound within the Bluetooth A2DPprofile, audio compression is necessary. While traditional audio compres-sion technologies struggle to provide full-bandwidth, high-fidelity audioover Bluetooth, apt-X works to ensure you enjoy the fullest, richest soundyour music collection has to offer.

apt-X legacy If you have ever been to the movies or listened to the radio then chancesare you’ll already have heard apt-X in action. Over 20,000 radio stationsacross the world and thousands of cutting-edge film studios rely on apt-Xfor high quality audio delivery.

The digital compression technology now known as apt-X was originallydeveloped in Queen’s University, Belfast, Northern Ireland. The technologywas first brought to market for radio automation applications to store CDquality audio on computer hard drives for direct playout during radioshows, hence automating the process of the disc jockey.

The acclaim the technology received lead to further research and develop-ment and throughout the 1990s the technology was used by Broadcastand Post-production studios worldwide to deliver high-fidelity, low latencyaudio in situations where bandwidth was limited. The same core principlesthat have earned apt-X worldwide acclaim in the Broadcast and Post-Production markets make it the perfect solution for delivering high qualityaudio on wireless devices. apt-X is leading the way in bringing pro-audioquality to the discerning consumer.

apt-X audio coding

apt-X key features:

• Blind listening tests with industry reference audiences have shownthat apt-X over Bluetooth is indistinguishable from audio deliveredover wired technology. Unlike psychoacoustic-based technologies suchas MP3 or AAC, apt-X can be used to transport audio without degradingthe audio quality. With MPEG/AAC compression, the encoding processis destructive and content perceived as “irrelevant” is discarded. apt-Xtransparent, non-destructive approach ensures that every frequencypresent in the original signal is preserved in the encoded and decodedsignal.

• Dynamic range of > 92 dB for 16 bit audio and > 120 dB for 24 bit audio.

• The overall framework of apt-X ensures a high degree of resilience torandom bit errors, with the bit error response well matched to the audi-tory response of the human ear. apt-X employs connection andsynchronization techniques to ensure a robust connection and enabledelivery of audio even under stressful conditions.

• Shortest processing delay of any professional audio compression tech-nology. Many current wireless devices suffer from unwanted delayswhich cause lip-sync issues, apt-X can enable real-time delivery of wire-less audio ensuring seamless integration when used with videodevices.

• apt-X encoded audio fits neatly within the available bandwidth ofwireless transmission standards to offer an efficient solution for band-width-restricted connections.

SRS WOW HD

SRS WOW HD

Remarkable enhancement formono and stereo playback

SRS WOW HD™ improves the dynamic audio performance of compressedand uncompressed audio by expanding the size of the audio image andcreating a deep, rich bass response. The patented techniques inSRS WOW HD widen the horizontal sound field and raise the vertical soundimage, retrieving information lost in the mixing process to create a morenatural audio experience. SRS WOW HD also shapes a maximized bassresponse using sculpted filters and driver physics to go beyond the low-frequency limitations of speakers and headphones. SRS WOW HD also addsDefinition™ Control, for realistic clarity, and the new Center Control, fordynamic extraction and positioning of dialog.

Immersive 3D audio SRS WOW HD adjusts the space of the stereo image and eliminates thenarrow stereo sweet spot and creates an immersive stereo image frommono and stereo source material. It also restores audio realism which isoften masked by traditional recording and playback techniques.

Center Control SRS WOW HD adjusts the mix of the center information into the stereoimage. It works in tandem with the space control to create the perfectbalance, acting as a “zoom” lens for sound. It can bring content to the fore-front to dominate the mix or fade it backward, virtually eliminating thecontent all together.

Optimal headphone listening SRS WOW HD includes techniques based on patented HRTFs to deliver anatural, non-fatiguing headphone listening experience by placing theperception of the stereo sound image outside of one’s head making it morerealistic and immersive.

Elevated sound image SRS WOW HD adjusts the horizontal plane of the audio image from non-optimally placed speakers placing it at an appropriate listening level.

Definition Control SRS WOW HD delivers a livelier, more brilliant sound. The purified soundcan be heard in musical vocals, high-frequency instruments, and exposesdetails of ambient sound present in the audio source.

Bigger bass SRS WOW HD includes psychoacoustic bass enhancement techniqueswhich enhance the perception of low bass frequencies from speakers andheadphones which, under normal conditions, can not produce thesefrequencies due to the inherent low frequency cut off and driver size limi-tations.

Audio level management SRS WOW HD includes an audio level management system which monitorsthe output levels of the entire product audio system and manages thelevel dynamically to prevent sudden audio clipping.

Features of SRS WOW HD

• Stereo enhancement which improves dynamic audio performance

• Sculpted bass response for maximum thump on small speakers

• More natural audio with a wider sound field and raised sound image

• High-definition control for realistic clarity

• Center Control for dynamic extraction and positioning of dialog
